(c) The bylaws of a savings bank must provide for the voting rights of the members or shareholders. The bylaws must provide the manner of computing the number of votes that a member or shareholder is entitled to cast.

(1) a written revocation is delivered to the secretary; or

(2) the proxy is superseded by a subsequent proxy.
